It seems to me the Scots have a greater and stronger identity and image than just about everyone else on the planet. What more is there to get? — tim wood
I don’t know the legal position, but I expect they can, they do have a parliament. They did close the border with England a few weeks ago during a COVID lockdown.Can the Scots legally control their own borders? (I recognize my question may have built-in ignorance.)
This is a big topic, it would probably divide into those questions about the politics and those about the economic future of the country.It all turns on whether the Scots think that being part of the EU will be of greater benefit than being part of the UK.
More like built-in contempt for the Scots. Because today they don't have any border to England as they are part of the UK.Can the Scots legally control their own borders? (I recognize my question may have built-in ignorance.) — tim wood
The SNP has boobed. The election was effectively a 2nd referendum. And the combined vote shares were 51/49 in favour of the Unionist parties. How is a 2nd ref now justified? I suspect the Sturgeon/Salmond infighting has turned just enough people off to lose the nationalist majority. Maybe voters suspect the SNP aren't quite the knights in shining armour they seemed.. — Tim3003
